Seems the time of year that sponsorship deals are getting inked. The first one I want to mention is the formalization of our relationship with Sitka Gear.
As all of you know, we have used Sitka Gear since the show started.
Why would we do that, when we were not getting paid, and others had offered to pay us?
Easy answer - We use what works. We do not chase the dollar. Yeah, the dollar keeps the boat afloat, but the first priority we have had for the show is what is the best gear we can recommend to our viewers.
I had started using Sitka Gear in 2007. It worked marvelously well. I bought full sets of the gear for me and guest hunters in 2008 when we started filming Season One. I expanded the gear pile in 2009 for Season Two.
Sitka was aware of our use of their gear, and liked the show. Most intriguing to them was the hard core hunter we were reaching. Sitka has a primary focus on the serious hunter, and builds a product to meet those demands.
In 2010, Sitka gave me a pile of new Optifade to use. It was a new pattern for me, and many of the clothing items were new, as were the fabrics and features. We used it exclusively for 2010, and you will see that in Season Three.
Sitka came to me and asked if we could increase our relationship to a higher level. Given who well their clothing had performed, that seemed like a great idea.
So, Sitka Gear and On Your Own Adventures are official partners. We are working together to provide product and information that will help the On Your Own hunter be more successful and more comfortable.
You will see more of them on the site. We will be loading links to their page. We have another Sitka garment to give away as a prize this month, and will have even more of them as the year goes by.
We are working on other projects that will benefit our Hunt Talkers, but details are still being sorted out.
One thing that comes clear with Sitka. They are hunters. From top to botton, they hunt and hunt like we do.
Sitka is serious about building the best gear possible for the hard core hunter. They do not cut corners. They want feedback from hunters to continue improving their gear.
Sitka's support for the On Your Own hunter is greatly appreicated. Welcome Sitka.
If you care to thank them for support of the On Your Own Hunter, they would be glad to hear from you. Here is the link: Sitka Gear Contact
